Baked Eggs In Sweet Potato Nests With Bacon And Sharp Cheddar
- non-stick cooking spray
- unsalted butter
- 10 cups mashed sweet potatoes (from 7 pounds baked sweet potatoes, skin-on, mashed with a little butter, kosher salt and pepper)
- 30 slices cooked bacon, each piece cut in half crosswise
- 40 large eggs
- about 1/2- 1 cup heavy cream
- kosher salt
- black pepper, coarsely freshly ground
- 1 pound extra sharp cheddar, grated
- With non stick spray, spray the insides of 20 ramekins (4"wide x 2" deep). Place on a rimmed sheet pan. Into each ramekin, spoon 1/2 cup mashed sweet potatoes and make a nest(depression) in the top. Place 3 cut pieces of bacon,side by side, in the bottom of the nest.Crack 2 eggs on top of the bacon. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons heavy cream. Add salt and pepper and top with grated cheese.
- Set pan in middle of oven and bake until the eggs are set, or to your desired doneness (18 to 22 minutes for runny yolks).
- * if you want a spicier Mexican touch, add some pureed seedless chipotles in adobo to your mashed sweet potatoes (Be cautious/add a little at a time!)
